UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEo MARTIN ROBBINS, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

IM PROVED MOLASSESPITCH ER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,991, dated August 7, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, MARTIN RoBBINs, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Ilnproved Handle for Pitchers; andlI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, `which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

The nature of my invention relates to the improvement ofhandles for molasses-pitchers; and it consists in providing a tube in the form and position of ahandle upon the pitcher and perforatin g the same. The said tube enters the pitcher near the top. Over the perforated tube is drawn a rubber bulb of an elongated form.

It further consists in extending the spout of the pitcher to nearly the bottom upon the inside.

The figure represents a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved pitcher and handle.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in the figure.

A represents a pitcher of common construction, made of britanniaor other proper material, and provided with a spout, B, which enters the pitcher about midway from bottom to top, and. extends nearly to the bottom upon the inside of the pitcher.

O is the handle, the upper end of which is a tube that enters the pitcher at or near the top, the said handle or tube being perforated.

is made air-tight at the collars D D upon the handle G.

E is the stopper, packed with rubber, so asl to make it air-tight. i

The operation is simple and easy. When it is designed to be used, by removing the stopper E such liquids may be introduced as desired, when the stopper is replaced and made tight in the neck of the pitcher. Then suddenly compressing the bulb F .with the hand, the air is forced through the perforations into the tube or handle C, and into the pitcher, which forces the liquid out of the spout B, and so on at each compression of the bulb a jet is forced out of the spout, making it one of' the most economical pitchers for thatpurpose now in use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pitcher provided with a perforated handle, to Which is attached `a rubber bulb, for the purposes and substantially as described.

2. The spout B, when extending nearly to the bottom of the pitcher, in combination with the handle G and-bulb F, substantially as described.

MARTIN ROBBINS.
